Movies and Films

The terms are used interchangably by some and mean two very different things to others. Everybody's got their favorite genre of motion picture. They just seem to have difficulty respecting differences in tastes. When I was in Jr. High and High School, kids didn't worry about whether something was... Sign in to see full entry.

Catchings Up

Eventually, Iraq will reach a point where the number of Iraqis killed by "insurgents" exceeds the number killed by the U.S.-led coalition. I don't know if anyone is even comparing those two numbers. It is and will be a sad statistic. Is anyone going to realize when it happens? Will the media even... Sign in to see full entry.

Hooked

Last night I had my first spaghetti squash. You boil it, cut it in half, remove the seeds, scrape the meat away from the rind with a fork and it comes of in thick strands that look like angelhair pasta. Top it with your favorite pasta sauce and you've got something just as filling as semolina, but a... Sign in to see full entry.

Do Solenoids Really Exist?

Okay it has a definition, but here's the problem: It has always seemed, whenever mechanics and techs use the word, to be a convenience, cop-out word to keep users at arm's length. Which may not be a bad thing. Maybe if we weren't bugging them so much about what's wrong, they'd get their asses in... Sign in to see full entry.

Internet Outages

Do any of you folks who were alive during the 70s and 80s remember how things were before the internet? We had a pretty bad storm overhead for a while and I was replying to an email when the power went out for a sec. Then the net was down for about an hour after that. I was only able to log on a few...

The Elevation of a Standard

Everyone's got their standards. Looks like I have to raise mine. I've tried online dating before. I always checked "any" by body type, ethnicity, and so forth. I figured someone like me can't afford to be picky. Back then I was placing a lot of importance on having a girlfriend...any girlfriend,... Sign in to see full entry.

Inch Schminch

I just finished working on a half page ad shell with smaller ads in it. One of them is supposed to be 1" deep. I have it at.75". I am going to fix it, but it is almost 2am and I really feel like 3/4 ain't bad. Sign in to see full entry.

40 Days and 40 Nights

I went out walking a little after 9pm. One of my employees had mentioned a cold front coming through and that there would be rain. I had sort of forgotten about that when I left. My plan was to reverse the path I took Tuesday and start out on the trail, go all the way to the Lamar Pedestrian Bridge... Sign in to see full entry.

Mirror Mirror Off The Wall

Over the years I have noticed a difference in the way I feel looking at my reflection vs. the way I feel looking at a photograph of myself. Whether it is standing in front of a mirror or walking by my reflection in a window, when I look at myself I don't feel as overweight as I do when I see a... Sign in to see full entry.
